Rapper / singer Drake is a man of contradictions. On the eve of the release of his third record Nothing Was The Same, he released a track that paid homage to the legendary hip hop collective . This made him even more respected by the pop audience and at the same time even more loathed by the hip-hop purist. With one Grammy in his pocket for his record (2011) Drake feels confident enough to stick
… to the rap + vocals formula. Two disciplines in which he does not excel, but has enough feeling for it to be taken seriously. About heavy, languid, misty beats, the Canadian shows that he has developed in terms of presence. Practice makes perfect. In terms of content, however, the album hobbles in two minds, but as said before, that is Drake's own. He's sorry and he's sorry. He's hypersensitive and he's dead. He's simple and he's decadent as hell. Therefore, the public dichotomy will not shift quickly. The listener decides whether he / she hears richness or emptiness. (GL)more
